Happy #ChineseNewYear

A Happy Chinese New Year to all friends and family that celebrate this.

This year is the Year of the Goat (or some call it the Year of the Sheep). It is apparently a Yin year which symbolizes peace and harmony.

 

Even though we don't have any specific celebrations going in #StKilda (maybe something the City of Port Phillip can consider for next year and beyond?), there are plenty of things happening around Melbourne.  The main festival takes place in Chinatown in Melbourne's CBD along Little Bourke Street and Russell Street this coming Sunday 22 February from 10am to 10pm.

 

There will be a second event at Federation Square the following week on Sunday 1 March 2015 from 12pm to 4pm.

There is an information booth on the corner of #AclandStreet and Shakespeare Grove in St Kilda if you are out and about and want to get some info about who's playing and where.

More #PrideMarch Photos

Just wanted to share some more #event photos from the Pride March last weekend in #StKilda.  It was a great day with a very positive and friendly atmosphere. We have so many different types of events in St Kilda and it's so nice to see that they're all welcomed and loved by everyone.  Congratulations to the LGBTIQ community and to Port Phillip Council on a successful day.
